Customer reviews for Jalousie Utility Louver Aluminum Window

The Tafco Jalousie window is masterfully engineered to provide the slim profile that elegantly compliments both modern and traditional styles of architecture. Tafco's jalousie windows are created with maximum air ventilation and light penetration in mind. Jalousies are the only window style that can remain open during a rainstorm allowing fresh washed air to enter your home. Careful attention has been given to each feature of these windows to ensure that your windows are the finest, most maintenance-free jalousies available. The Tafco jalousie window will add charm and warmth to your house. Every window has a deluxe, accurately fitted, recessed insect screen.

The windows have been installed for 4 weeks and we have had two of the window cranks strip out (do not work) and need replacement.

There is a foam strip at the bottom of the sash where the last pane rest against the frame when closed. The glass pane sticks to the foam strip when closed. The only way to open - crank the windows out is to have someone on the outside lift or pry the botttom pane away from the foam strip while another turns the window crank on the inside.

We needed a window for our 12X12 Chicken house for more airflow. Needing one that is wider than tall, we choose this one because it gives maximum airflow when open.Installation was easy, it is very easy to operate and my husband put a custom made heavy duty metal screen outside the window so the raccoons won't find a way in.Looks great and we love it and our pet chickens are happy!

Nice window if you don't need an insulated window. Would be great in a Florida Room to replace screens. I used them in an Aviary to replace screens so that I could close them in inclement weather. They couldn't be used in an area that is heated or cooled because they are not very air tight. But they are not meant for that anyway.

Just what I wanted

These windows will be used to rebuild my front porch. They have just begun the work, but we did open one of the boxes to see the frame and screen, and one of the boxes of glass. They looked just like the ones I viewed and the glass is the right thickness and has very smooth edges. I am delighted and sure they will look wonderful!

TWO STARS

Rated 2 stars for poor instructions and glass chips along leading edge of one slat, discovered at the time of installing. No remedy by HD online or TAFCO other than remove, repackage, and return the whole window. OR - spend another $78 to order their 5-slat package.

these windows came packaged in scure packing with a minimal amount of damage to the boxes. Found the items easy to install and precision crafted. I would certainly recommend this product to anyone who wants windows.

I ordered 8 windows. 2 came without ANY glass. Home Depot had Tafco send the glass. 16 out of 26 pieces sent were broken. Tafco sent the 16 pieces of replacement glass. Home Depot deserves praise for resolving all of these issues. Windows are great but I would be fearful of ordering them online again. Still don't know where I could buy replacement glass if a pane should break. The Home Depot doesn't sell it.

Ordered two, one did not have any screws to attach handle. Could not attach either handle to window without drilling new holes. No instructions with either window, thank goodness for internet site. After another trip to Home Depot and a little carpentry, we really like the windows.
